I guess most people know about the movie web app site, which pulls videos from various sources.
Recently they added a request to download an extension to your browser, for optimal perfomance and better quality.
It is featured on the firefox android extensions site from Mozilla, it has a github page. What I read online is that it seems the extension wants access to everything you do in your browser, which seems kind of sketchy.
What do people here think about it? Anyone installed it and can say more?
Edit: thanks for all the comments, looks like less people knew about this than I thought.
The movie-web addon needs quite a bit of permissions. [1]
Edit: If it actually needs access to many websites/domains it’s better to set the permissions explicitly for each of them like MALSync does. [2]

Apparently it’s supposed to work on forks of the website too, hence “all websites “
